Great video,  I have been buying WNEW jingles too. Great to get a piece of history.

Are you converting to CD?

[desoto1961]

@Drivermatic Thanks. Yes I was going to. I haven't started yet. I would love to make you a copy !!

Beside this machine, do you collect other tape recorder such as vintage shoebox cassette recorder, 8-track players, and boomboxes?

[desoto1961]

@Vinylrecordsneverdie ..Yes, I have some 8-track players and more !!

Imagine - the latest news, comedy (Allan Sherman, Steve Martin, etc), the latest top-40, big bands, Charlie Parker, Sarah Vaughan, etc - all before going to school! They Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole doing station ID's - I remember two of them for King Cole...they could have used those for marketing in the end instead of running the station into the ground. Thanks for the memories - great machine, btw!

Today, "1130AM" in New York is WBBM- "Bloomberg Business Radio". Eh!

@desoto1961 It's a feel-good thing. Link to my past when I produced all manner of audio visual productions using combinations of the "Maggy" PT6 Magnecord for initial voice tracks, then doing a "3-machine mix" as we used to say in analogue tape-based days. One deck I forgot to mention was a Sony 7-inch reel recorder. That got extensive use as the main voice deck. Then music would be via a turntable or the Ampex 1280. Results were good for radio station spots and docs. And for slide-tape shows.

@Glinkaism1 Thanks for the info!! Very cool!! Hold on to those machines!!!

[Glinkaism1]

@Glinkaism1 To continue. Stations would have a rack of PT6's, from which they'd run spots and jingles, along with some on disc. But mainly stations had up to four turntables mainly for 45s and LPs. Some spots on disc. Best quality spots were vertically cut discs for no groove noise. Guess what? That up and down recording is CD/DVD recording mode. :) Yeah, I was a 50s/60s DJ combo. Ran own board.

I have an open reel Akai 7 1/2 down to 1 7/8 speed. Once is great while I fire it up. Works great. Solid state electronics. Also have an Ampex 1280 with tube electronics 7 1/2 and 3 3/4 speeds. I can't bear to throw them away. But I'll have to some day. I sure miss tape! You can get your hands on it. Tactile comfort. I have acetate back tapes that go back to the 1950s. They still play just fine. :) I also have a couple Magnecord PT6 decks that were very popular during 1950s rock radio. Contd.

@GEWildcatRocks I also have an Akai 1721W reel-to-reel deck which is similar to the Roberts, same design and different controls, plays greats just like Roberts does. Roberts was a Rheem brand where they also made Califone school record players, and Roberts is an Akai copycat. I have those two along with a bunch of reel-to-reel tapes that my uncle gave me last month.

Nice reel-to-reel tape recorder! I also have two reel-to-reel decks. One is my Sony TC-580 and it was huge, but it does have an auto reverse feature and it has three speeds. I got this from my uncle back in April. When I got it, it was not working in the first place, because the capstan motor got frozen. After a few drops of lubrication with my 3-in-1 oil and cleaning the head, it works perfectly. "CassetteMaster" also has the same model like mines.
